Hi, we love discovering new places especially in France, Spain, Italy, and the Greek Islands. We enjoy walking, swimming, cycling, Tai Chi, dancing, theatre arts and music plus organic gardening, cooking, eating and being part of communities. We live by the beach and prefer quiet, natural locations where we can enjoy space and outdoor life. We like friendly pets but not difficult or aggressive breeds. We are fortunate to have dual citizenship [English / Australian] and have current Euro passports so no problems with Visas [at this stage]! We both speak French and Tricia speaks some Spanish but we welcome the opportunity to immerse in the language.
Why we want to house sit
We welcome the opportunity to stay and discover the beauty of our natural world and also to meet new friends for longer than a couple of weeks and so for us house sitting combines a sense of belonging with a chance to get to know new places and people. We have experience with gardening and orchard care and are happy to help maintain your garden whilst you are away.
Our experience
Our own dog, a beautiful springer spaniel called Tess, has now died and we do miss her so much. We have also enjoyed kittens, cats, a fish, chickens and also hand feeding lambs in our back yard in Australia. We also have experience living and working in orchard / vineyard country here and have helped on our sons farm in New Zealand both in the organic gardens and tending the animals. We have looked after a home in England with a gentle dog called Jasper, a border collie, who needed walking twice daily, whilst the owners went on holiday. We have owned a swimming pool and so are familiar with maintenance requirements and John is handy with a chain saw and general orchard work.

Tricia would be the perfect person to look after you house and pet. She is kind and considerate and I would leave her in charge of my most precious possessions with no worries at all. She is the happiest person I know and her love and energy for life shines through in every thing she does. Xx
